Chapter 280: Dancing with Sharks

Whether you know football or not, when it comes to the famous Cristiano Ronaldo, his handsome appearance, toned body, super skills, and the honor of the world footballer of the year have become a miracle in the history of football.

This is the hometown of the family, I heard that Cristiano Ronaldo's hotel has done a good job, and the business territory has expanded to Madrid and New York.

In line with his name, this time I didn't live in five stars, and came to the CR7 Hotel, the front desk was very fashionable, and his motto was printed in a prominent position: Your love makes me strong, and your hate makes me indomitable.

There are 83 rooms, and there is only one Cristiano Ronaldo suite, which the whole team will stay in if Real Madrid have a game in Lisbon, and Ronaldo will of course stay in his own suite, this one.

is worthy of being a superstar, even the electronic screen of the elevator, infinitely looping his past experience and proud achievements. On the walls, there are many pictures of fans, documenting many people who are crazy about football.

The style of the guest room is biased towards vacation and leisure, and when I came to the bathroom, I was greeted by a huge smiling face of Ronaldo, and the 2 lenses of the sunglasses were mirrors, which I regretted a little......

As the last stop in Europe, let Xia Long plan his itinerary well, and finally decided to play big and go to find real sharks to have a good time.

The Azores, located in the North Atlantic Ocean, 1600 km from Lisbon, have an airport. National Geographic check-in place, 26 species of whales have been recorded, and there are other big guys. Blue sharks, whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, grey sharks, various rays, many species of dolphins, molamola......

Anything is possible!

The next day I came to Pico Island, the old rules, charter a yacht to hire an instructor, I haven't dived for a long time, and I really want to.

I heard that diving near the island reef, the terrain is dominated by stones and drilled holes, and the marine life is far less than that in Southeast Asia, and the boat ride is only five minutes.

Choosing Shark Dive, good guy, doing a briefing an hour in advance, and signing a three-page document with more than 40 terms, is it so scary?

Let Alice translate one by one, how to get along with the shark, if the shark rushes at you, don't kick the flippers quickly to escape, don't stare at the shark's eyes, make it feel safe, if the shark continues to approach you and lean forward towards it, the shark will turn or pass by......

Be sure to wear a hood and gloves, as any skin color exposure may be considered food.

Recalling the words of the two instructors of the first domestic diving, I sighed that the wild one was still fierce!

After going to sea, I feel that diving in the territory of Europeans is closer to the primitive wildness, which requires sun, wind, wave, cold, and hunger resistance.

Departing for Princess Alice, the full moon is still hanging in the sky in the morning, the sun is rising from the volcano on the other side, and the seabirds start their breakfast, swooping and gliding on the sea, just like a BBC documentary.

The wind is very strong, the upper body jacket is windproof and waterproof, and the headscarf and sunglasses are sunscreen and windproof. The dive sites range from 35 to 1,000 meters and feature the ocean-going Manta Ray and Mobula Ray groups from June to October. In fact, these two goods are not uncommon in the Indo-Pacific region, and they are just routine operations.

Prepare one hour in advance, wear three layers inside and three layers outside, jellyfish suit + 3mm vest head cover + 5mm whole body. The smallest cylinder here is a chunky 12 litres, and the BCD cylinder strap needs to be adjusted, and it is a cylinder.

The first undercurrent is not large, along the dive rope directly to 44 meters, there are many fish, Jacks, huge Tunas, Barracudas, water wow wow wow wow cool, Johnson hurried up to 30 meters 22 °C water, waiting for the instructor to command.

Suddenly, an oceanic manta ray led a group of cubs to swim past at a distance of about 35 meters......

I didn't control it, I chased it forward, of course I couldn't keep up, so I had to give up. This guy has seen this guy many times in the aquarium, and this long-term close-up observation is really exciting, fatter and bigger than expected, and full of domineering.

Take a break and catch your breath on board, whaling was not banned here until 1987, and the first whale watching company began in 1989. There was a burst of ridicule from the locals, the whales are there, who will pay to see them?

Who would have thought that whale watching is now a must-do for every visitor to the Azores. Whale watching is almost a must, as each island has several watchtowers in different directions, and the boat will only go out when the whales are in the direction.

After a while, I saw three sperm whales, and the last one was naughty and swam around the boat twice, if it wasn't for the instructor pulling, I really wanted to jump into the water to see......

When you can see it, it is ventilated on the surface of the water, and it dives freely for more than ten minutes, and the higher the tail is cocked, the deeper it dives, as little as a few hundred meters, and as many as a thousand meters, and it will return to the surface to rest and breathe after an hour.

The captain was proud of this authentic approach to sharks, and despised the other islands, throwing tourists into large cages and waiting for the sharks to come, as the sharks floated.

To attract sharks, giant fish heads are lifted and thrown into the sea. This means that about every three or four minutes, a small pizza-sized fish head will be dragged over your face and then thrown on top of you again.

Dripping fish head juice on the way out, dead fish eyes staring at you on the way back, underwater like Lady Gaga has just appeared at the Oscars. The men in the cage desperately pushed the underwater cameras in front of each other in an attempt to film the great white sharks.

When most people think of sharks, they look vicious. Cruising in the water, revealing a razor-like fin on its back, a bloody mouth with a jagged and sharp triangular teeth, black eyes, a light gray back, and a pure white belly, revealing a cunning and brave temperament everywhere.

is like the big brother of the underworld in Hong Kong movies, after experiencing countless bloody rains and bloody winds, he finally sat on the top spot, and wherever he went, his scheming temperament and not afraid of heaven and earth instantly erupted.

When I went into the water again, I saw a lot of sharks, large and small, foraging and lounging nearby, not as bloody as in the movie, but patrolling the territory very elegantly.

This is an extremely old and successful species. They have existed on Earth for 420 million years, and over time they have been endowed with streamlined bodies, sharp teeth that are constantly renewed, armor-like shield scales, sharp electric shocks, and a top-notch sense of smell that can smell blood thousands of kilometers away.

No matter how big or small, Lao Tzu casually puts a Pose, which is simply domineering!

A strange-shaped guy appeared not far away, and the coach quickly signaled to back away and keep a distance. Thresher shark, the most maverick outlier of predatory sharks. The caudal fin of these creatures is incredibly long, like a long, narrow, curved katana, which takes up more than half the length of their entire body.

It is up to six meters long, and the tail alone is more than three meters. Like a 3-meter-long multi-functional Swiss Army knife, it can be chopped, chopped and disrupted, and can be used in a variety of ways, even with the richness of the imagination.

In front of him was a large school of small fish huddled together to survive, this guy swung his tail back and forth as a fan, and the tail fin stirred up waves of water to hit the group of fish in a circle. Repeated several times, the pressure of the small fish increased sharply, and in the panic, it broke away from the swimming rhythm of the large army.

After being alone, the natural sheep entered the tiger's mouth, and there was no way to escape and survive, looking at Johnson's heart was thrilling, so insidious!
